17th post - new base

I just moved to a new base to start a new course for two months.  My first week there I just came home and I am loving it.  This place is called Mitkan Adam and its near Modeim - it has a very cool history of counterterrorism training and lotar. The entire base is built like a kibbutz it has a lot of trees and flowers and a mini bus to take us from place to place on base. My course is built out of 35 people - including guys and girls.  The guys in my course are mainly combat soldiers that fell from their position based on injury so they are a little bitter but they are really really nice.
The girls are most of my friends from the previous course and otheres that joined from education branches and airforce. 
We have no distance with our commanders - I call mine by her first name (Anna) which is Hebrew for I am a Russian girl who has pretty blonde hair and am going to speak really fast so you dont understand anything in Hebrew about your weapon.
I got really lucky and got a Micro Tavor which is one of the newest weapons in the IDF I call her Lucy.
The food is pretty crappy and my cot isnt  the greatest but the company of my friends and the many Americans on the base makes up for it .
I love the more chilled out atmosphere and I am learning a lot of really cool things .
Everything and anything about the weapon and the balistics behind it .
I love you all,
Shabbat Shalom going to celebrate my new years in style in Tel Aviv with my Garin family,
